Chapter 13: Top Gun

Bai Qi's voice was as loud as a bell, deeply shocking Wu Zhan's heart.

"Since the filial piety of the Qin State adopted the Shang Dynasty Reform Law, the national strength has become stronger and stronger, and then through the three generations of King Huiwen, King Wu, and King Zhaoxiang, the territory has been expanded, and now it is already the strongest among the countries, and one day, the Qin State will definitely sweep the universe, incorporate the territory of the Six Kingdoms into the Qin State, and unify the people of the Six Kingdoms into the people of the Qin State, when the world is the same, there will be no more wars." When Bai Qi said this, he couldn't help but have his eyes shining.

"What does the general mean by telling me this?" Wu Zhan asked puzzled.

"Now that the six countries have become the end of the crossbow, as long as we have another British lord, we will be able to unify the world in one fell swoop." Bai Qi stared at Wu Zhan's eyes and said.

Seeing that Wu Zhan was still confused, Bai Qi continued: "Now that my Qin country is rich and strong, the soldiers are strong and strong, but the Qin monarch is frequently replaced, and the central power is unstable, I recently received news that someone in Xianyang City wants to poison the king!" ”

"The general told me about such a confidential matter, but he wants me to find out the enemy hiding in the shadows?" Wu Zhan got up and asked.

"Boy's courage is commendable!" Bai Qi continued to stroke his silver beard and said with a smile: "Your task is not to find the assassin who intends to assassinate the King of Qin, but to find a way to get close to the crown prince and secretly protect the prince when he grows up, so that he can ascend to the throne in the future." ”

"Prince?" Wu Zhan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the current crown prince is Yingzheng, the son of King Zhuangxiang." Bai Qi said quietly, and seeing that Wu Zhan was still confused, he explained: "That is, the son of King Zhuang Xiang and Zhao Ji - Zhao Zheng." ”

"Isn't his name Zhao Zheng?" Wu Zhan remembered the child who took his hand and stuffed himself with a jade pendant three years ago.

"He is surnamed Zhao, so it is right to call him Ying Zheng or Zhao Zheng." Bai Qi smiled.

"Since the general has received news that someone wants to assassinate the King of Qin, why only let me protect the crown prince?" Wu Zhan was still puzzled.

"Hahaha" Bai Qi said with a smile: "The task of finding the assassin is naturally done, so you don't have to worry about it, you just need to protect Yingzheng." ”

Seeing that Wu Zhan still had some doubts, Bai Qi immediately straightened his face and said solemnly: "Netherworld Guard Wu Zhan, can you complete this task?" ”

Wu Zhan hurriedly responded: "Wu Zhan will definitely live up to the general's trust!" ”

"Well, that's what it looks like!" Bai nodded and smiled: "You can prepare well in the past few days, and you can set off for Xianyang in a few days." ”

"Wu Zhan commands!" Wu Zhan hurriedly got up and received the order.

"The content of my conversation with you today is completely confidential and you are not to tell anyone!" Bai Qi turned around and admonished.

"No!"

Looking at Wu Zhan's young and energetic figure, he stroked the silver hair that hung down his shoulders, and then said slowly: "In the future, this world belongs to you young people, remember, you must not come to me until you have to, I will always pay attention to your every move, go!" ”

"Wu Zhan retires!"

Saying goodbye to Bai Qi, Wu Zhan walked alone on the way back, his mind was full of what Bai Qi had just said, that's right, if there is no more war in this world, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the only way is to unify the world! Wu Zhan secretly made up his mind.

Back at his residence, Wu Zhan was surprised to find that none of the chicks who had eaten, lived and trained with him in the past were gone, and even Qing'er didn't know where to go, it seemed that they had all received their tasks and set off in a hurry.

Looking at the lively and now lonely school field, Wu Zhan felt sad for no reason, why didn't he even give us a chance to say goodbye to each other......

The hourglass in charge of timing ran out, and the watchman sang with the drum: "At the end of the night!" ”

Dongfang Yun didn't know when he had come behind Wu Zhan, and when he saw Wu Zhan's expression was a little lonely, he said softly: "Each of us has to carry our own mission when we come to this world, if we are emotional everywhere, I am afraid that we will not be able to do anything." ”

Wu Zhan turned around and said lonely when he heard this: "It's just that I'm left alone all of a sudden, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it." ”

"Soon you'll have to leave here to complete your mission." Oriental clouds are secluded.

"My mission?" Wu Zhan muttered, and Bai Qi's words just now echoed in his heart.

Dongfang Yun stared at Wu Zhan's eyes, and affirmed: "Today's crown prince Yingzheng has a fateful friendship with you, according to my observation, the prince and his mother Zhao Ji were confronted in Zhao State in his early years, and he was oppressed and insulted by the magnates of Zhao State, and he experienced the misery of the world at a young age, and he also understood the hardships and hardships of ordinary people. ”

"Master, can I really do it?" Wu Zhan regained his youthful state of mind at this time, after all, he was only sixteen years old now.

"Of course you can, don't forget that you are now a Netherworld Guard, you are still the son of Wu Laosan, and you are my Dongfang Yun's apprentice!" Dongfang Yun stretched out his hand and patted Wu Zhan on the shoulder, and the power transmitted from his palm made Wu Zhan's spirit lift.

Wu Zhan met Dongfang Yun's determined gaze, and the corners of his mouth crooked: "Master, it seems that you haven't taught me any real skills!" "The implication is that your master is too incompetent.

Dongfang Yun couldn't hear the meaning of Wu Zhan's words, and then smiled and said, "Okay, as a teacher, I will teach you my peerless learning, Lingyun Sword Technique!" As a parting gift, you should pay attention to learning. ”

After speaking, Dongfang Yun shook his wrist, the long sword was unsheathed and flew into the air, Dongfang Yun caught the falling hilt of the sword, and suddenly had a heroic spirit that was proud of the world.

"The first sword - a steady step!"

I saw Dongfang Yun's wrist shake, with strange steps under his feet, moving left and right, the sword momentum was ups and downs, and the seemingly ordinary moves were hidden in the killing intention, which was convincing in people's hearts.

"The Second Sword - The Wind Rises!"

Dongfang Yun shook his arm, picked up several sword flowers in front of him, the long sword turned into a phantom, the sword net was impenetrable, Wu Zhan only felt that the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and it made people breathless.

"The Third Sword - Piercing the Clouds and Seeing the Sun!"

Suddenly, the sword moves scattered, and Dongfang Yun changed to holding the sword with both hands, and the sword moves opened and closed, but both the attack strength and the angle were more powerful.

"The Fourth Sword - Flowing Clouds!"

After the big opening and closing, the sword moves suddenly became delicate again, and the sword momentum was continuous and long, flowing and fluid, unpredictable, and unpredictable.

"The Fifth Sword - Turning the Clouds and Rain!"

The sword body suddenly went up and down, and Dongfang Yun hid in the sword net, suddenly chopping and shaving, suddenly stabbing and chopping, and the move was fierce and thunderous.

……

Dongfang Yun sang the sword trick while practicing the sword moves, one person and one sword actually reached the realm of unity, the long sword was like his extended arm, swinging freely, like an arm making a finger.

Wu Zhan stood on the sidelines, inspecting with his heart while imitating his movements, as Dongfang Yun's sword moves became faster and faster, Wu Zhan's figure became faster and faster.

After a long time, Dongfang Yun shouted: "The last sword - the wind and clouds!" ”

Wu Zhan only felt that the sword qi in the sky turned into nothing with Dongfang Yun's sword swinging, and then he saw Dongfang Yun with his sword and returned the sword into the sheath, restoring his previous image of being as immobile as a mountain.

"My swordsmanship originates from actual combat, its essence lies in both offense and defense, when moving the sword, you must sink into the dantian, throw away distracting thoughts, turn the sword into a part of your body, feel the changes in the sword with your heart, let your heart and spirit fully integrate with the long sword in your hand, so as to achieve the realm of human and sword integration." Dongfang Yun explained.

Wu Zhan was still immersed in Dongfang Yun's exquisite sword moves just now, and Dongfang Yun immediately handed the long sword in his hand to Wu Zhan and said, "It's up to you, rehearse the swordsmanship you just saw and remembered, and let me see how you understand." ”

"No!" Wu Zhan took Dongfang Yun's long sword, and pulled out the sword with a "cangchang" sound, only to feel that the sword body was smooth and straight, and there was a faint buzzing sound.

"Steady steps, wind and clouds, clouds and sun, clouds and water, clouds and rain......" Wu Zhan remembered Dongfang Yun's sword tricks and moves, in addition to the stiff and slow movements, he was able to imitate one move after another.

"Where did you learn this swordsmanship before?" Dongfang Yun asked in surprise.

Wu Zhan said calmly: "No, I haven't even seen this set of swordsmanship before." ”

I didn't expect this kid to be a martial arts wizard, and he could write down all the sword moves just by looking at it once!

"Practice well, and remember that practice makes perfect!" Dongfang Yun was secretly happy in his heart, and he didn't forget to tell him.

"No!"

In the next few days, Wu Zhan and Dongfang Yun practiced swords in the school field every day, to Dongfang Yun's surprise and gratification, Wu Zhan had a very high understanding, and he had now mastered thirty percent of his Lingyun swordsmanship, as long as he practiced every day, he would definitely be able to master the essence and become a sword master.

"Zhan'er, it's time for you to leave!" Dongfang Yun hugged his chest with his arms.

Wu Zhan had just finished practicing swordsmanship, and he was waiting for his master to comment on one or two, but what he didn't expect to hear was to let him leave.

"Master......" Wu Zhan put away his long sword and said in a little panic.

"King Zhuang Xiang is dead!" Dongfang Yun's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Wu Zhan stunned.

A few days ago, I heard Bai Qi say that he received news that someone wanted to assassinate the King of Qin, could it be that the assassin succeeded? Wu Zhan was stunned, and secretly guessed in his heart.

"Now the crown prince has become the first candidate to inherit the throne, but rumors have spread in Xianyang City recently, saying that Yingzheng is not the heir of the first prince, but the illegitimate son of Xiangguo Lu Buwei......" The latter words Dongfang Yun was a little difficult to speak.

"Gongzi Cheng Chan was elected by some ill-intentioned people to replace Yingzheng to inherit the throne, and now the prince's situation is extremely dangerous." Dongfang Yun said leisurely.

Wu Zhan unconsciously touched the jade pendant on his chest, and the child from three years ago appeared in front of him, and he remembered his mission again, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Let's set off!" ”

"Remember, the identity of your Netherworld Guard is only known to the Commander, the Sect and I, and you can't mention it to anyone, let alone reveal that the Commander is still alive in the world, you have to do everything you can to infiltrate the palace, get close to Yingzheng, gain his absolute trust in you, and then become Yingzheng's shadow, protect Yingzheng anytime and anywhere, do you understand?" Dongfang Yun was like telling his own child, for fear that he would not explain clearly.

"I understand! The vain will not fail in his mission! Wu Zhan held the long sword in his hand in front of Dongfang Yun and said firmly.

Dongfang Yun took the long sword, still as if he was not at ease, and said: "When you arrive in Xianyang, you will face a completely new world, where there are factional disputes within the Qin State, and there will also be spies and assassins from other countries, which can be described as a crisis, you must be careful......

Wu Zhan smiled freely, and only listened to him: "Master, don't worry, why have you become a little talkative now......"

"Talkers?!" Dongfang Yun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this word, and when he reacted and was about to have a seizure, Wu Zhan had already run out of the way.
